Glenborough Realty Trust (NYSE:GLB)(NYSE:GLB.PrA) through one of its joint ventures, sold 2000 Corporate Ridge, a 256,000 square foot class "A" single-tenant office building in McLean, Virginia for $79.1 million. The venture purchased the property in December 2000. Glenborough's share of the gain from the June sale was approximately $10.0 million and the venture generated an internal rate of return in excess of 20% to all investors. The sale was prompted by multiple expansions and a lease extension by the major tenant which converted the formerly multi-tenant building to a single tenant property. Andrew Batinovich, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Hopefully the success of this venture will aid us in growing our joint venture business, which is an important part of our growth going forward. We also believe this sale and its 5.9% cap rate shows the value in our Washington, D.C. portfolio, which at 27% of our net operating income, is our largest market." Glenborough is a REIT which is focused on owning high quality, multi-tenant office properties concentrated in Washington D.C., Southern California, Northern New Jersey, Boston and Northern California. The Company has a portfolio of 45 properties encompassing approximately 8 million square feet as of March 31, 2006.
